Dear Fletcher Women Issue N° 13 Edited by Claire Carroll (F'90) Dear Fletcher Women: As Chair of the Fletcher Women's Network, I am delighted to introduce our thirteenth newsletter, one that enables us to take yet another step forward by focusing on the concept, needs, examples and goals of "global women's leadership" as they relate to Fletcher women. This newsletter is both about, and grounded in, women's leadership. Three Fletcher alumnae on Fletcher's Board of Overseers have taken the lead in launching the Initiative for Women's International Leadership (IWIL): Lis Tarlow (F'84, 97), Alice Finn (F'86) and Betsy Powell (F'62). You may have read the article about IWIL on page ten of the 2012 spring/summer issue of Fletcher News. Below, you will find interviews with Lis and Alice that explain their motivations and aspirations. Claire Carroll (F'90) spearheaded the development of a "white paper" to guide the group’s initial thinking. Within this newsletter we share key sections of the white paper and we (both the FWN and IWIL) sincerely thank Claire for taking on the project. Leadership has many dimensions, with the most common version recognized as that exercised within political or corporate spheres. Another version conjures images of spearheading action, within the context of sports, military campaigns and citizen demonstrations. Yet one fundamental aspect of leadership is the assertion and use of power that is not necessarily undertaken publicly or visibly. One framework for understanding "power" proposes three types: visible, hidden and invisible.1 We most often think of the first two, suggesting the visible power of a President or CEO, and behind-the-scenes powerbrokers, respectively. The third type of power, however, is often overlooked: Invisible power refers to the power to "shape meaning", i.e. affecting how people think and what they value. Such power may be exercised overtly or subtly by leaders in religious, educational and media institutions, as well as by leaders in families and communities. For this newsletter, we have an example of such leadership from Barbara Geary Truan (F'90), who challenges us to think more clearly about the pervasive and contentious issue of "work-life balance". Finally, with this newsletter we would like to encourage our readers to consider whether leadership necessarily presupposes a public and visible dimension. In February, a group of eight Fletcher women gathered in Geneva to discuss IWIL and develop some input for its direction. One of their primary recommendations, resulting from nearly seven hours of discussion, was that IWIL adopt a broader definition of leadership: 1 See A New Weave of Power, People and Politics by Lisa VeneKlasen and Valerie Miller of Just Associates, www.justassociates.org/ FWN Newsletter: Fletcher Women & Leadership Page 1 November 2012 This definition should go beyond C-suite positions in industry and high-ranking government jobs. It should include women who take initiative, who use their positions to influence events, and who have successfully integrated meaningful professional work with personal goals. Women running their own small businesses, teaching, or shaping community all are very much leaders. Thus when we seek and recognize women leaders, do we expect their leadership to be visible? Is the leadership of Fletcher women always visible? Or, might some be powerful but hidden? Furthermore, to what extent are "accepted" definitions of leadership predicated on where and how men typically take leadership, thereby ignoring or undervaluing different places and ways in which women often lead? With this newsletter (but hopefully also with your responses), we seek to identify Fletcher women leaders who demonstrate a variety of leadership approaches. Regarding the more visible leadership, we as the Fletcher Women's Network aim to transcend networking activities and create purposeful mechanisms to increase our voices and influence. Two such initiatives still in the planning stages are introduced in this newsletter - one relates to the Op-Ed Project (to ensure Fletcher women's perspectives are in the public debate) and the other is a pilot project aimed at getting Fletcher women onto public boards-of-directors (to contribute to planning and policies, and exercise some influence in those realms). Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this issue, but particularly to Claire Carroll, Barbara Geary Truan, Karla Brom (F'89) and Violeta Archer (F’91). Thank you, too, to all Fletcher women who make us proud by their leadership around the world, of all kinds. And thank you to the founders of IWIL for generating this focus and for working with the School to strengthen its contributions to women's leadership. With admiration for Fletcher women as they lead in so many ways, Marcia Greenberg (F'91) Note: If you are interested in any of the topics or initiatives in this issue, please note the links to 'Round the [virtual] Water Cooler for more information and for discussions.

FWN Newsletter: Fletcher Women & Leadership Page 2 November 2012 1 | Initiative on Women's International Leadership (IWIL) A growing body of research correlates strong organizational performance with the presence of women in top management positions and on boards. Nevertheless, a complex web of deeply embedded institutional barriers and psychological factors prevent women from rising to chief positions at the same rates as their male counterparts. The good news is that significant and encouraging efforts to address this imbalance are underway not only on the global stage, but also in our own backyard at Fletcher with the launch of IWIL. In May 2011, Fletcher's Senior Spotlight on IWIL co-founder Alice Finn Director for Alumni Relations, Jennifer Weingarden Lowery, Q: How do you define leadership? A: I’m in the private sector, in the wealth management industry, where invited Fletcher board member, leadership is defined in traditional terms as being an owner, C-level Alice Finn, to meet with executive, and/or on the board of a company. In the private sector, current Fletcher students unless you are in a traditional leadership position, you don’t get the working on the Gender & same pay, recognition, or opportunities to have as much of an Equality Project (GEP), a impact. Therefore, for example, it’s important for women to get on student organization of men boards. Of course, women take leadership roles in non-traditional and women that has been ways, not necessarily as the titled head of traditional conducting research and organizations. They do more than they get credit for.

Delahunty International law is merely a magnifying mirror that reflects faithfully and cruelly the essence and logic of international politics. In a fragmented world, there is no 'global perspective' from which anyone can authorita- tively assess, endorse, or reject the separate national efforts at making international law serve national interests above all. Like the somber uni- verse of Albert Camus' Caligula, this is a judgeless world where no one is innocent. 2 I. Introduction Why do American and European attitudes toward international law appear to differ so profoundly? What explains the United States' (supposedly) characteris- tic "unilateralism" in international law? 3 This article examines one very rich and fascinating theory of the difference-that of Professor Jed Rubenfeld of the Yale Law School4-and advances another.

  • German Media Censorship on Gaza?
    German Media Censorship on Gaza? Merkel’s Will By Ali Fathollah-Nejad Theme: Media Disinformation Global Research, January 22, 2009 In-depth Report: PALESTINE 22 January 2009 Germany’s most prominent political debate TV program “Anne Will” had announced to run a show on Gaza on 11 January, but in what many observers believe to be an unprecedented step canceled the topic only three days earlier. The talk show is broadcast every Sunday night by the country’s foremost public-service broadcaster ARD while attracting on average 3.6 million viewers. The “Anne Will” show which in the fall of 2007 succeeded the successful primetime talk hosted by Sabine Christiansen – who is now anchoring CNBC’s“Global Players” series – is named after the presenter. Official Germany Adopts Israeli Propaganda On the evening of the second day (28 January) of the Israeli attacks on Gaza, the German government’s spokesperson said that in a telephone conversation German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert “agreed that the responsibility for the development of the situation in the region clearly and exclusively lies with Hamas”. The same further outlined the official version of the conflict according to the Berlin government which assembles the Christian-Democratic (CDU/CSU) and Social-Democratic (SPD) Parties: “Hamas unilaterally broke the agreement for a ceasefire, there has been a continuous firing of […] rockets at Israeli settlements and Israeli territory, and without question – and this was stressed by the chancellor – Israel has the legitimate right to defend its own people and territory.”[1] The Italian newspaper La Stampa commented “that with this outright German backing for Israel the policy of velvet gloves has ended with which German diplomacy was used to approach this region.

Zwischen diesen beiden Daten liegen sechs Jahrzehnte Wahlgeschichte: hart geführte Wahlkämpfe, krea- tive Kampagnen, spannende Diskussionen, lange Wahlabende.
